Welcome To Yangon American International School
Our curriculum integrates the best of International and American frameworks, providing a comprehensive and stimulating education for your child. Our focus on inquiry-based learning allows children to explore and discover the world around them, developing key skills and understanding of concepts in a fun and engaging way. In addition to academic excellence, we place a strong emphasis on social-emotional well-being. We understand that students need to feel safe, supported, and valued in order to learn and grow, and we work to create a positive and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive.
In August 2019, Asia Strategic Holdings welcomed the first classes at Yangon American International School. Offering an academically rigorous, international American education, Yangon American is centrally located on Yangon-Insein Road in a newly renovated state-of-the art campus ensuring children excel in all areas, from academics to sports or the performing arts.
Since welcoming its first students in August 2019, Yangon American International School has provided an academically rigorous American international education within a warm, supportive community. Today, our two campuses—Hlaing and Bahan—offer thoughtfully designed learning environments where children can grow and excel in academics, sports, and the performing arts.
Our new Bahan Campus serves students from Early Years through High School, offering the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP), with plans to introduce the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in the future. The campus provides space and opportunities that support students’ learning as they grow, preparing them for university and life beyond school.
At Yangon American, we take great care to provide a truly personal educational experience for every child. Each student is unique, and their needs change over time. By building strong relationships with students and families, we help children navigate transitions, build confidence, and feel comfortable taking on new challenges. Our approach combines effective educational practices from around the world with a deep commitment to knowing and supporting each learner.
Yangon American is an IB World School authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP). These internationally recognized programmes combine academic challenge with inquiry, creativity, and real-world learning. Through the IB framework, students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to become thoughtful, caring young people who contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.
Our families can expect highly qualified, inspiring teachers who are passionate about providing an exceptional educational experience. Small classes, extensive learning resources, and high-quality facilities enable teachers to address individual needs while encouraging every student to achieve their best. We build strong foundations in reading, writing, and mathematics alongside students’ social, emotional, and physical development.
Guided by our vision, we inspire students to grow, learn, and succeed inside and beyond the classroom. Our motto captures this commitment: “Enter to learn and grow. Go forward to succeed!”
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
Sincerely,
Yangon American Team
